WE DON'T MAKE TURBINES.
We make turbines...
… MORE STABLE.
Wind is strong, but rotor blades are stronger: A wind turbine’s blades contain a skeleton made of rigid foam. Our polymer additives make this rigid foam extra stable, so the rotor blades can stand up to wind and weather.
… LOW-MAINTENANCE.
Oil change, please! No problem with a car, but if you have to climb 150 meters first, it’s a job you’d rather avoid. That’s why wind farm operators are interested in gear oil with an especially long life. And they find it at Evonik.
… CORROSION-RESISTANT.
Lightweight shoes are great if you want to run like the wind. But each “foot” of a 200-meter wind turbine needs to stay put – in a shoe made of some 1,500 cubic meters of reinforced concrete. Evonik’s anti-rust agents give the 180 tons of steel in the foundation a long, reliable service life.
… MORE DURABLE.
Sun, sand and salt water: Sounds like a dream vacation, but they’re a wind farm’s worst nightmare. Evonik provides all-around protection: Our paint additives guard against material fatigue caused by rust or UV rays, so they extend the systems’ life span.
